British Guy in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - Travel Vlog (Mt Washington, Randyland, Museums + more)

I hardly EVER see a travel vlogger visit Pittsburgh and its many communities! It was a real treat to see my hometown visited by a YouTuber!

I've lived in Pittsburgh my entire life, and you did such a great job of capturing nearly all the wonderful, quintessential things there are to do in the city. Pittsburgh is seriously so underrated- thank you for visiting!

"Good Morning from a very bright and sunny Pittsburgh" If only that happened more often

The people of Western PA are real as hell. Much respect.

The glamorous turkey at 6:55 is an Ocellated turkey which is native to the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, Belize, and northern Guatemala! When they roost, Ocellated turkeys roost high in trees away from night-hunting predators such as jaguars. The fluffy ones you saw at 7:01 are mountain goats! They're native to the northern Cascades and Rockies like Glacier National Park. Despite their name mountain goat, they're not in the Capra genus, which is the genus that contains all true goats. Instead, they're in the genus Oreamnos (which they're the only living member of) and they're more closely related to the takin and chamois. In the high-altitude environments, sometimes above 13,000 ft, they are the largest mammal! Mountain goats are powerful but nimble and can jump nearly 12 feet in a single bound, and weigh between 150 and 220 pounds. Their coats help them to withstand winter temperatures as low as −46 C and winds of up to 160 kilometers per hour! The birds next to you at 11:02 are a Victoria crowned pigeon (the bluish-grey one; they're native to northern New Guinea) while the bigger one next to it is a Great argus! The Great argus looks similar an Indian peacock because both the Indian peafowl and the great argus are in the Pavonini tribe of the Phasianinae subfamily of the Phasianidae family, though not the same genus as the Indian peafowl are in the Pavo genus (along with the green peafowl) while the Great argus is in its own Argusianus genus! The great argus is native to the jungles of Borneo, Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula! The Great argus got its name from Argus, the hundred-eyed giant from Greek mythology, a reference to the many eye-like spots on the Great Argus’s wings and tail!

British accent really fancying up the description of Pittsburgh. Then during the fireworks you just hear in the background"WOOO FUCK YEAAH"...There ya go, thats Pittsburgh 😂

The reason the colors of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Steelers are black and yellow (technically Aztec gold) is because the colors are derived from the Pittsburgh city seal and flag, which in turn come from the coat of arms of William Pitt 1st Earl of Chatham, whom Pittsburgh is named after! This is the same reason why some of Pittsburgh's iconic bridges are gold as well! The Lawrenceville neighborhood was founded in 1814 by William B. Foster, father of composer Stephen Foster (known as the father of American music; wrote pieces like Oh Susanna, Camptown Races, and My Old Kentucky Home), who was born there in 1826. It is named for Captain James Lawrence, hero of the War of 1812, famous for his dying words, "Don't Give Up The Ship!", which he uttered during the capture of the USS Chesapeake in June 1813. Besides the Duquesne Incline, there's also the Monongahela Incline! The Monongahela Incline is busier than the Duquesne Incline as the Monongahela Incline serves the Station Square entertainment complex and is easily accessible from the Station Square light-rail station! The Monongahela Incline opened in 1870 while the Duquesne Incline opened in 1877. Hungarian-American engineer Samuel Diescher worked on the Duquesne Incline while Caroline Endres (who ended up marrying Samuel) designed the Monongahela Incline with her father John Endres. Duquesne is in reference to Marquis Duquesne, who built Fort Duquesne at the confluence of the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers in 1754, while the name Monongahela comes from the Unami language and roughly translates to "falling banks". The Duquesne and Monongahela Incline stand out in that they're the only ones in the US that use 1524 mm gauge, a gauge grouped as part of 5 ft/1520 mm/Russian gauge, a track gauge standard used in places like Finland, Russia, and Mongolia! The gauge used to more common in the US as many railroads in the southern states used that gauge, but in 1886, around 11,500 miles of it were converted to 4 ft 9 in (1,448 mm) gauge.

As a born and raised and still living in Pittsburgh since 1975, I appreciate your tour! Hope you come back

Pittsburgh: where the shortest distance between two points is under construction.

"...and sence of community was incredibly wholesome." A guy in the background "FUCK YEAH !!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

If you're ever back, check out St Anthony's Chapel. It houses the largest collection of Relics outside of the Vatican.

I love the video, I'm glad you had a great time here in Pittsburgh. As a local it was great seeing someone enjoy the lovely city I call home. Next time you come back you gotta try Primanti Bros Sandwiches 10/10. In Pittsburgh we embrace the words of Mr. Rogers and be a good neighbor and treat everyone like a neighbor, his influence is why this city feels more like a smaller town.

🌼From the Northern Panhandle of 🏞West Virginia in Appalachia🏞, so we enjoy the myriad delights of Pittsburgh, for sure❣

I gotta say, you are so naturally enjoyable to watch! Sincere, kind, and open minded to the diversity and adventure of life!

Thank you for coming to the Burgh and enjoying our culture, cuisine, and views! I love to see people have fun in our city! Come back anytime!

You’re so sweet to give a $10 tip ❤. My Dad probably 30 years ago told me always give $1.00 a bag or $1.00 a night in a hotel. I’m certain that probably translates to $3 or $5 today. Your tip was generous, but really made someone feel appreciated and valued, which probably made you feel good as well. My Dad believed so much in tipping and I’ve seen him tip $50 to a parking valet. I never saw, growing up, anyone come to our house to work on or drop off a pizza to our home without my Dad tipping a minimum of $20. If you can afford it…it’s worth it. I could hear his Pittsburgh accent.

Pittsburgh is a great city with great people!

What a great love letter to Pittsburgh. I attended school at the University of Pittsburgh back in the early 2000's and haven't been back since 2005. But this video has me really excited to take my wife and son and show them the city that i loved for 4 years. You also get a ton of credit for pronouncing places like Duquesne correctly (that one always trips people up).

Pittsburgh is by far the best city in the US.

Loved the video dude. I’m a fellow Brit and I’m keen to visit Pittsburgh and watch the Steelers! I just need to convince my wife now and think this video should help! 😊
